Classic Film Aficionados Posted by C. S. Williams on Apr 1, 2015

2015 TCMFF, day 4: Advice from a comic legend, then going Chinese for a 'Psycho'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 30, 2015
It looks as if Carole Lombard's ready to catch a train, if this image is indicative. She doesn't appear in the best of moods; perhaps she's a bit rushed from preparing her trip. But since it's 1938, we know from the technology of the time that she didn't immediately sign this, as she might have toda read more

Shameless Sunday Camp Explosion: A Happy Song
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Mar 29, 2015
Sometimes the depth of what I don't know really startles me. How, for example, could I never have heard of Folies Bergère de Paris, a nifty little confection from 1935 that ends with this remarkable number?
I have to confess, too, that this is all I've seen of it, although you can definitely read more

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 29, 2015

2015 TCMFF, day 2: Technicolor music, redhaired wow, a silent 'Steamboat' score and hello, Leonard
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 28, 2015
Ladies and gentlemen, here are two of the passions in my life -- Carole Lombard and the University of Maryland women's basketball team. While I've passed Carole's star many times and taken pictures of it, I don't believe I've ever posed next to it. I rectified that the other night by having my pictu read more

Time to celebrate a classic, blogathon style
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 23, 2015
